Not that it fundamentally solves the problem, but you could buy well known coins, exchange that to Monero on coin exchanges.
What problem does it not fundamentally solve?
I was referring to how you still can't buy them directly, and the method I mentioned above would be a sort of workaround.
I see. I guess the main downside of that workaround is an extra step with extra fees?
Yup. More work isn't really great. Still, I doubt they can stop this unless they start regulating withdrawal to non-custodial wallet.
